Anybody know anything about tri-leafed seedlings????

Hey, i'm new here so am still learning alot but have hit an issue with my grow, i'm growing three plants at the moment (2x shark shock cbd & 1x big skunk 47 auto) in my tent and they all seem to be doing fine but I've come across something which i have never seen before on one of the plants, instead of the initial 2 leaves i have 3. I start all my seeds in root riot cubes before repotting them in coco as i find it works best for me, they are about 4 days old and are growing at a pretty good speed but the 3 leafed seedling has confused me, it is growing at the same rate as the others but is the only seedling to not get the first zigzag cannabis leaves (sorry I'm shit with all the names forthings) but yet as said before has an extra seedling leaf, what does it mean? I'll attach pics.

Also, what sorta time period is it best to wait before putting the seedlings under my 600w HID? At the moment they just have a uv light above them and are still on a heat mat as it's pretty cold where i live. Any help would be really appreciated ☺

It is most likely a tricot.

Sorry if i sound like an idiot but what does tricot mean?

tricotyledon. I wouldnt worry. I also wouldnt put a 600 over them for a few weeks. t5 first until 3rd or 4th node, but if its all you got, go for it.

Here is a link to another 3 leafed recent thread...

In it on one of my posts there is a link to another 3 leafed thread on bigger plants thats quiteinteresting. If you read both links you will gain a good understanding of both ways we might produce a three leafed seedling

Thanks, that's a great help ☺

Just keep it growing and im sure it will be fine, its hard to say exactly how these tri leafed plants happen, wether genetics or stress but at least it offers a couple of explanations and the rest you can find out as it grows.

Nice for growers to add some follow up threads in a few weeks so we can get a more accurate idea and spread some knowledge around.

Nice one, yeah it's pretty interesting to be honest, I'm enjoying watching it's progress. it's just started growing the first set of leaves and is living under a uv light at the moment with the others and will put it under the 600 in a weeks time i think. I'll let it grow out a bit and either start a new thread or add to this one pictures of its progress so people can see how it turned out ☺
